InStyle magazine has a similar format, but with a larger focus on style in general, including fashion and decor in addition to beauty trends. It regularly includes features of celebrity hairstyles throughout their careers. Drawing inspiration from Hollywood instead of directly from the fashion world is what makes InStyle unique. It covers industry events such as the Oscars and Emmys and music festivals such as Coachella to bring many different types of celebrity hairstyles to its readers. Its website includes tutorials and has a special section for wedding hair and color ideas.

Glamour magazine offers a combination of fashion, celebrity and on-the-street trends in hair. It shares color and styling tips and reader hair makeovers, using "real" women instead of models. It provides before and after pictures, making it easy to recreate the results.
